Saw these Banskia and just had to have them. Shapes are just so fabulous. I did walk past a mens barber today that I would have loved to take photos of as it was dark and grey outside and everything inside was bright and shiny and the guy was drinking a coffee, just need to work on the courage to take photos without questioning myself - should I, shouldn't I, what if the people don't want to be photographed etc. Small steps.
pretty light... I am the same taking photo's of people - it's a tough one. I try get photo's that are not showing their face or it's just a silhouette. I have to do this a lot taking photo's for my school...
that is wonderful light and the leaves of the plant are so geometric! Awesome. I do have photographs in my head that would have been amazing I know, but I didn't have a camera ready or in hand - just like you probably will always have that scene inside the barber shop in your head too. Oh well, we can't win them all!
@pyrrhula That is great, they do last a good couple of weeks. I am sure they are probably growing them in the warmer climates over there for sale as well. @kuva@bluemoon@joansmor Thank you.
@jgpittenger@lynnz Thanks, I am working up to it, practising by taking photos in public areas, parks, etc and then being ninja like and quickly taking photos of people who are very far away and not looking my way, lol.
Beautiful light and it looks like the plant is trying to scuttle away. I want to do more street photography. On my April break, a friend and I plan to hit the streets. My wife made me promise not to take pictures of people without their permission.
@dkbarnett Thanks. Yep I have thought about it on and off all day.

@kork Thank you. It does look like a spider 😃 I was getting ‘war of the worlds’ and ‘Little shop of horrors’ vibes from it.
Nice light here
@kuva @bluemoon @joansmor Thank you.
I'm not brave about taking pictures like you mentioned either.
